Call early! - dates, locations, contacts and phone numbers change. Reminder: Most of the volunteer events are open to the general public, so these are NOT "singles only" opportunities. It is important to wear your SFC pins so that our SFC buddies and other singles can find each other at a volunteer event. We would appreciate all members and non-members notifying the contact person for an event as early as possible. |
